What's a good way to start working with programming (non-paid)?
I don't feel that confident just messing around with projects on github, but I would be happy to help any amateurish projects needing an extra brain.

Searches for "volunteer programming" don't return much, and programming for Roblox seems a bit shady lately.

My main problem is that I don't really have an axe to grind, so I'm looking for someone else that already has that axe lol.

@derickflorian Minecraft has always been a ‘wiki’ type of game for me. It’s rare that I don’t have the wiki open during game play to look up how to craft some item or where other might be found or info on some type of mechanic. If you look through my posts I have a bunch of guides that may (or may not) help a bit this early in the game.
Farming crops and breeding animals is important early in game.

Any chad #orgmode users out there that use it to track your workout routines?

Every writeup on it that I've seen mostly talks about logging your progress trough tables and plotting them, which is very cool, but it isn't what I'm looking for.

For me, exercise is a complex task. It's a:

1. Daily habit (except Sunday)
2. An ever changing task (I increase reps up to a point, and at the end I change to another exercise)
3. Weekday dependent (every day of the week has a special set)

Can confirm. Shearing also gives more wool than just killing them. And when they live on grass blocks, they replenish their wool after eating grass (block turns to dirt).

@derickflorian

@derickflorian , you need to find 2 sheep, and feed them wheat. They breed, and then you make shears to get wool.

5-7 books to something something about me? Good Lord. Um...

Okay, "A Wrinkle in Time", that's like a free space.

Thaddeus Golas, "A Lazy Man's Guide To Enlightenment".

Robinson, "A Short, Sharp Shock".

Me, "All Reality" (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KH-ZR3A8va_QVaVVP5EWb3SIUUJF2o0g65hOV3pVspA/)

Ram Dass, "Be Here Now"

I don't know! Maybe Morick (ed) "Challenges to Empiricism".

Ooh how about Abbott's "Flatland"?

"Principia Discordia" of course.

Darn, that's eight already, and I haven't listed "The Wind in the Willows" yet, which should probably have been first.

And lots more!!

I do not like that this needs to exist, but I'mma boost it until it's not. Do likewise, as you will.

Finally getting around to quartoifying my website and making a custom bootstrap theme and it's a delight so far! #QuartoPub #rstats

Saying something like, "Mastodon is open source. Don't like the functionality? Get to work." is not only useless 'advice' but actually pushes people away from open source and the tool you are telling them to fix.

Why are you combative that someone doesnt have time, energy, expertise or actually enough care to fix it themselves? Imagine telling that to a reporter, doctor, lawyer, or geologist?

In 1938, kindergarten teacher Helen Hulick wore slacks to court to testify as a witness in Los Angeles, CA. Judge Arthur Guerin was appalled & rescheduled the case, instructing her to “return in a dress.”

The next day, Hulick showed up in slacks again, declaring, “I will stand on my rights…I like slacks. They’re comfortable.”

She was sent to jail. https://web.archive.org/web/20210315143406/https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-11-15/from-the-archives-wear-slacks-to-court-and-go-to-jail

"Crafting Interpreters" is a popular book by Robert Nystrom:

http://craftinginterpreters.com

It's less known Nystrom wrote a blog series explaining in great detail how he created the book. In the posts he covered his writing routine, book design, production toolchain, self-publishing process, promotion, and the setbacks and tragedies that challenged the work on the book. Here's the series:

So, don't tell anybody, but we're going to announce Palm Pilot emulation in the browser at Internet Archive in the next week or so. I've still got to get descriptions in for the hundreds of apps that are uploaded, and add a few more classics. But if you want to help with that, or just let me know how it's going, ping me here.

But don't tell anybody! It's a secret!

Are you NEW here at SDF?
WELCOME! And did you know SDF has a radio station? It's called aNONradio and you can listen here:

Click me: https://anonradio.net/

When should you listen? 19:30 UTC!

19:30 UTC is the start time for Dubious Goals Committee!
That's 2:30pmET, 1:30pmCT, 12:30pmMT, 11:30amPT in North America. For everyone else, UTC is pretty much GMT, so now you have to do a math problem. Sorry 'bout that.
